This anime... my god. Especially if you are aspiring in any art career, it will teach you something. Every part of this anime from the writing, art style, characters, and plot progression are fantastic. The comedy in this is absolute gold and when it comes down to any scene, this anime will put every ounce of emotion into it. You can see the love of the creators in every scene making this anime absolutely worth watching. It has one of those open ended but absolute closure endings that give you everything you need, but there can always be more. The single lost star is for the stock market like range of emotion a certain 2 characters have, and for the time dilation aspect. The story progresses perfectly but you don't realize what has been a month or a week unless someone says something. Then again I might just be trying to squeeze some reviewer pride out of this. This anime has 6 separate romances in it and I thought each and every one of them was touching. Worth every episode and you should defiantly watch it if you like slice of life, art, romance, drama, or comedy.

I thought this was a lackluster anime. The romantic elements were very awkward and uncomfortable. I thought the main protagonist was an ok guy, but he was a jerk to his friends. The blonde girl Mashiro felt like she had a sandpaper personality and was just very one dimensional.

Sakurasou No Pet Na Kanojo is one of those shows that, at first seemed like a generic romance show about a guy taking care of a girl who doesn't seem alright in the head but as time goes on, that is nowhere to be the case. Without this show, I would have probably quit college thinking I was a no-life nobody who can't do anything. With this show, there I am, competing in my first few Ludum Dare ...

Sakurasou No Pet Na Kanojo is one of those shows that, at first seemed like a generic romance show about a guy taking care of a girl who doesn't seem alright in the head but as time goes on, that is nowhere to be the case. Without this show, I would have probably quit college thinking I was a no-life nobody who can't do anything. With this show, there I am, competing in my first few Ludum Dare competitions and actually getting stuff done.
The realism of the plot and the turmoil of the characters are all things we've all faced before. Failure, jealousy, and even that feeling where success was right on the tips of your fingers to then lose it in a blazing fire. The characters having to deal with these issues while trying to maintain their relationships with each other felt even more powerful because of the stress and pressure each character is under because each other's talent, hard work, and dedication to their respective fields.
No character is a weak link in this story. As fanservicy as some of them are or how odd some of them start out to be, they're all real and likeable.
Overall, it goes without saying that this is one of my favorite shows of all time and that's saying a lot as when this show first came out, I was really close to dropping it as I thought it was just some generic high school drama between fanservice girl A and fanservice girl B over the affections of this guy who's unwillingly doing the bidding of fanservice girl A. But seriously, this show, at the time of my viewing, when it came out, couldn't have been better. I just dropped Calc I and my roommates were math majors. As a fellow amateur game developer, I felt like I couldn't do anything, alone and insecure because I didn't feel like an equal but a low pest in the food chain, this show came in and picked me back up. I was reminded about all of my experiences up til that point, all of the people who've went through the same things as me, as well as all of the things I've achieved up until that point. I looked at myself long and hard, and although I'm still nowhere near where I want to be as a game designer/developer and overall programmer, I feel like I can still do things because of this show.

I just wanted to say that this anime was worth watching. It had great romance and a very strong slice of life that many of us can relate to. I enjoyed this anime till the last episode. Not one time was I bored of watching. Each episode offered something new and exciting. I couldn't stop myself from watching another episode after episode after episode. I highly recommend this anime.

I just loved it. I hope you give this anime a try and enjoy its work of art as much as I did.

This series was fantastic, I recommend it to family and friends. It's got all there is in an anime so far, Romance, Action, Comedy, and it's overall just complete fun! I started watching this a got hooked into it after the first 20 minutes. Also, this anime isn't just 12 episodes which I absolutely loved.

Fine... The animation was amazing. The characters were very sweet and charming (not boring or dull at all). The plot was very touching for a slice-of-life. The comedy was nice. The ecchi is present but limited. Did I already tell you how I was captivated from start to end???

Do I need to say anything else?

Yes, some may argue about the plot and the main character. However, I honestly think that it depends on the reviewer. If you don't like to sympathize, then this is definitely not the show for you. You need to be ready to cheer them on through better and worse and realize that life is just one crazy ride behind the sweet cherry blossoms.

But this anime was absolutely amazing. Loved every single character, the character development, and the story. It had me feeling plenty of emotions from anger to sadness. I don't usually watch anime in general, however, this is probably the best romance anime I've ever seen. This anime is very funny as well; I had plenty of good laughs!

But this anime was absolutely amazing. Loved every single character, the character development, and the story. It had me feeling plenty of emotions from anger to sadness. I don't usually watch anime in general, however, this is probably the best romance anime I've ever seen. This anime is very funny as well; I had plenty of good laughs! I definitely recommend this to everyone who enjoys romance, high school, awesome characters that are memorable, and/or great storylines. I'm actually surprised this anime isn't very popular.. it needs to be more well-known! Here's hoping for a second (or third season I suppose)!

This anime has a very charming story that I felt spoke to me more then any other anime I've watched before. It was able to bring up serious topics that are easy to sympathize with because they involve realistic situations that we face as life moves on.

This anime has a very charming story that I felt spoke to me more then any other anime I've watched before. It was able to bring up serious topics that are easy to sympathize with because they involve realistic situations that we face as life moves on. The structure of the story is very well paced adding characters appropriately and having each of them and giving them their own set of problems and concerns making it easy to find someone to compare yourself to. It does a fantastic job of not just focusing on the main characters, but on all the side characters without making it feel like filler stories to extend the content. By the end of this show I found myself thinking about issues brought up in the show and think about not just myself, but my friends and family to see if something I witnessed in this show can help them in some way. This anime teaches you lessons and shows you how people deal with all sorts of conflicts that life will throw at you. This is the first comedy that I felt the most immersed in. I felt not just laughter, but happiness, sadness, and the happy kind of sad that you feel when you look back on fond memories. This has become my favorite anime because it succeeded in being a superb, entertaining, charming and realistic. I think almost anyone will enjoy watching this show. I consider this a MUST WATCH.
